Hello Readers. Today my blog speaks about the wonderful Tower Rotana where I had a chance to stay last weekend with family. It was a fun filled trip and gave us the much needed time to rejuvenate from our hectic schedules.

Let me tell you the rooms at Tower Rotana offer the most stunning views of Arabian sea and the skyline of Dubai.I could not move my eyes away from this beautiful sight and wondered how this desert has been transformed into an incredible heaven for everyone and how hard it has now become for me to leave U.A.E.

On day one of Check-in, I spent my day at the Bodylines, which is located on the top floor of the building connected to the hotel (it’s a part of the hotel). It features an outdoor pool with sun terrace, a state-of-the-art fitness center and steam room, sauna & jacuzzi. We had a good time swimming and sipping the drinks at the pool bar. If you are a fitness freak, you would probably love the fitness center which includes cardio machines, strength equipment and a studio that holds classes and provides personal training.

After a nice swim I made my way to “Teatro” an award winning restaurant and one of the hottest fine dining restaurants in the city since last 14 years. Teatro serves Japanese, Chinese, Indian and Italian Cuisine. The restaurant is home to Glass encased walk-in wine cellar with a large variety of exquisite wine. The décor has Black & White framed pictures of Hollywood celebrities. Wine & Champagne corks are collected for restaurant decoration and kept in special decorative pots. The beautiful décor, ambience, great service and food make it one of the must-visit fine dining restaurants in Dubai. I loved every dish I ordered.

Here is what I would like to recommend for your visit to “Teatro”

For vegetarians: Vegetable Spring Rolls and Vegetarian Roll Maki.

For non-vegetarians: Wasabi Tempura Prawns and Naked Chicken Pandan

Don’t forget to sip on the Minty Way while you have the food: a drink made with Vodka, passion fruit juice, white wine, mint leaves, sparkling water and simple syrup. Simply refreshing and well made. Teatro has a good wine selection & you must try the Ksara Dessert wine while relishing the amazing dessert called the Flaming Baked Hawaiian. Have a look at how yummy it looks.

After the amazing dinner we spent some time at the “Long’s Bar”. They have good value drinks and it’s a great place to hang out. We called some of our friends over and rocked the floor.

Later we headed to our room after Long’s bar and ordered some late night room service.

The next day I got up early morning to head to the Breakfast restaurant called the “Flavours on Two” It is a nice modern dining venue with a wide spread of breakfast buffet. This restaurant is also open for Lunch and Dinner buffets and they have dinner themes and premium value beverage packages making it attractive to the local crowd.

All in all spent a great weekend at Towers Rotana . The hotel is priced well for the services that it offers and I would highly recommend it to Business tourist and the party goers.

As its name suggests, it is the longest bar in the Middle East, with an authentic “Raffles” look. Long’s bar is one of those places that ruddy-faced expats refer to, with a crinkly grin, as being a ‘Dubai institution’.
